GTA V Playstation 4 Day One Patch is 1.14 GB

Grand Theft Auto V is going to be released on Playsta­tion 4 and XBOX One tomor­row on Novem­ber 18th 2014. Playsta­tion 4 users will also have to get 1.14 GB Day One Patch before launch­ing the game to get the proper expe­ri­ence of GTA V on Next Gen­er­a­tion Console.

I think they do that so they can start shipping the game while still working on the game...

Eh... I have mixed feelings about that... For one side, you get to play them earlier, because the can keep "polishing" the final parts while preparing retail boxes, etc... But it can be exploited like AC:U... They send the game out and then patch it... It's Rockstar, though...

I really don't see anything wrong with a Day One patch if it is being used for tweaks and optimization (as this one apparently is) because developers should never stop improving on the performance of their games even after they've 'gone gold'.

If the patch is being used to fix game-breaking glitches, then that is a problem. It's good that it's being fixed, but bad that the game was rushed out the door in order to meet a deadline (I'm looking at you Ubisoft).

So stoked for this game. If your in Canada EB Games is having early releases at 9 tonight. Check the website to see if one near you is doing it. GameStop owns EB so GameStop may be doing it too. Not entirely sure. Just a heads up.

These day one patches need to stop. If your game needs a patch day one, don't release the frickin have until it can be released without a patch. I'm not sure what the patch is for, but this is annoying. From what I heard, Halo master chief collection had a 20GB DAY ONE PATCH. WTF?
